Introduction The Marine Anemometer AM706 is a combined instrument for wind speed and direction. It can measure relative wind speed (accuracy ±5%, min 0.1m/s), relative wind direction (digital display accuracy 1 ° , analog display accuracy 10 ° and output accuracy ± 1 ° ). GYRO (HDT) , SPEEDLOG (VBW)...
